The Film: Hysteria is a lighthearted romantic comedy from director Tanya Wexler, based on the surprising truth of how Dr. Mortimer Granville came up with the world’s first electro-mechanical vibrator. Academy Award nominee Maggie Gyllenhaal (Crazy Heart, Nanny McPhee Returns) and Hugh Dancy (Adam, Confessions of a Shopaholic) lead an accomplished cast in this untold tale of Victorian discovery, as a young doctor’s quest to work out the key to women’s happiness leads him to his own. This witty, winning comedy not only reveals how the vibrator became one of the first electrical appliances in history to earn a patent, but also, how it sent sparks flying between a cautious man and a liberated woman brought together by the wonders of friction.
